Bad Beat is destroying my bankroll...

Yes, you figured it out: IM TILT.Today ive started with my 590$ bankroll, played 33$ games for many many hours (approximately 10hours)  and made it to 690$ (YEAH THAT SUCK, BUT WHAT THE FUCK IM SUPOSED TO DO WHEN I PUT MY MONEYS IN GOOD LIKE EVERYTIME AND GET SUCK OUT??? How im suposed to make a bankroll wow) Ive just played 6 games in a row, lost them ALL. So im down to 502$... on the 6 games I played, there is one game that I lost that is NORMAL "44 vs KK shove preflop". But the 5 other games, I had: 72% 77% 78% 77% and 66% to win and ive lost them all: ive calculated it, I had 0.11% that it happen. I have no idea what to do... I keep telling myself: I PLAYED GOOD, IVE GOT BAD BEAT THATS IT, THATS POKER. But man... those bad beat just not only kill my bankroll, but is going to kill me.Is there a poker game that variance is low? Im ready to change... im so piss.....EDIT: I know that im just crying like a baby and hate when people complain about bad beats, but it seems that this 0.11% happens alots to me... happens TO MUCH

Re: Tilt

You may already be aware of it, but use the variance calculator and click through it a few times.  It will show stretches where losing 5-6+ games in row is pretty standard (even if you have a really good win rate).  There are a lot of posts about it and instruction if you need help/questions.  http://www.husng.com/content/variance-calculatorHope it turns around for you soon, best of luck Roamus.

Probably best to take a few

Probably best to take a few days off and relax for awhile.  At least take a break and go exercise/play video games/go out to dinner or something and then come back refreshed.

Same place I am in at the

Same place I am in at the moment, trying to build a roll.  Putting my money in good against fish.  Sometimes playing against fish, it is more brutal than just playing the regs.  Sooo many suckouts.  I recently moved into a new place and have my workout equipment in the room next to me.  Easy to go over one room after a bad beat. Helps me a lot to lift weights, lrun, and listen to music.  If you are on any remote tilt, you are going to go into a downward spiral when you play.  Dont even think about coming back to play when you are still upset.  That is what was killing me before and I am putting a stop to it.
